Good Soldier, I'm afraid you're getting this particular bulletin about seventy years later than the rest of the world. When the idea of adding fluoride to drinking water to strengthen tooth enamel came along, all the conspiracy theorists in the world came crawling out from under the sink. All the same "chemtrails" and that sort of thing:   a diabolical government plot to soften your brain and make you easy to control. Guys like Songwronger and Sawzaw would have had a field day!!

My dentist puts a fluoride solution on my teeth once a year, and recommends toothpaste with fluoride added. This, despite the fact that Seattle's water is quite soft and fluoride is added. It does occur in water naturally in some areas and it was noted decades ago that people in these areas generally had fewer cavities. So—
